I have to clear out a few parts for some space around the house. If the tag isnt clear enough i will retake the pictures when i get home from uni.

Old front suspension set up good for returning to OEM. i have reason to believe both the fronts have been replaced since the car rolled out the factory, to what reason i haven't a clue but in the process of finding out. I have no clue how much these go for so im just gonna say £150 for the sake of naming a price, the cars done 28k miles on these.

plenum - good nick comes with most the bolts unless ive misplaced one or dropped one without realising, will require new gaskets as mines is all bent. ideal for polishing or painting. ive got both both the upper and bottom. so say £100 for both, or £60 each

Cosworth Panel filter, no need for explanation, been in the car for <500 miles, removed due to getting momentum performance intake. £25

Bootlid spoiler - comes in sunset orange , no scratches but covered in dust. say £60

Air intake box, and intake tube. standard oem intake box and tube, will put in old Oem panel filter which i still have. £30

standard plastic engine cover , simple plastic part which goes onto of the engine £ 20

Please note all prices are what i wish to get for them however i will be more than happy to negotiate, none of the above prices will include delivery, which will be paid on your own behalf, as well as paypal fees. if two items are purchased by the same buyer i will work out some deal on the shipping e.g ill pay half the shipping etc.

all parts will be cleaned before shipping.

LOL jay , pfftt this is pennies compared to what keyser and neil is doing, im gradually building it up, hopefully time and finances allow it, ill have a inspirational car in a year or two

The rears and fronts both have adjustments in them , the rears are a little more tricky to get to but, a aleen key is supplied to make adjustments a lil bit easier. No drilling was required tho which was on the + side. Ill prob set it about 30-35 mm drop, with a slight -ve camber later on for better handling. im looking at fast road use, im currently in the frame of mind to go FI but recently i wanted to do something different and maybe go High Comp N/A build, i know not alot of power can be drawn out with just H/C N/A build, but esprit, a company in japan managed around 340/350 bhp by going N/A. The reason i dont wanna just go for looks is cause im planning to eventually turn this into a fun weekend/track car. Going high power N/A would give me a great responding engine, which wouldnt have me worried as much as having a turbo or supercharger strapped on.

I thought I was the only one who's ever up at crazy times lol. Need to get some front and rear camber kits soon. I reckon I need to set the preload in the back springs to help with the spongy feeling.

So i recieved my coilover from Chris (tarmac) after taking on his special offer.

Got these fitted on Saturday night along at my mates house as he has all the tools, we set about dismantling the fronts first as we knew they would be most tricky. Im not going to detail about everything we done, and i didnt get a chance to take to much pictures. so basically strut bar off, wheels off, a bit of swearing and cursing to get the old parts out, also i found out my front suspension has been replaced not so long ago presumably before i purchased the car. so back to fitting the new coilovers on.

.once they where fitted i realised something was wrong if you look closely at the next picture youll see the part which hold the hoses for the brakes is bent . no biggie i thought so i hammered it straight.

only to realise another problem , its not shown on the picture but basically one of the three rods which protrude out the struts was bent a good 20 degrees , so my mate and i has the carefully pull it straight. ( the furthest away bolt )

So front wheels back on, dropped to a ridiculous 40 mm, and strut brace reattached,

i was going to put my kinetix manifold cover that i got from alex but i couldn't find the imperial Allen key .

After that, we started working on the rears, The rears where easy as pie, 20 mins max each side. the only problem is shown in the last picture, when we realised that AMS didn't supply a bolt, so we had to cut the ones off the old damper to make it fit.

( before installation the gap was too big lol.

I will update the thread once i get the chance to wash my car, and show how low it is, i will be raising it so its sitting at a 30mm drop, cause the bottom is scraping mad. next on the list is to spacers, get the front and rear camber sorted, wheel alignment , My mot which was due since the 2nd , and get my tyres which should arrive on Monday fitted.

The first impression is these are well built other than the faults i discovered, it could be damaged in transit but they weren't bad so im not complaining. I just need to sort out the ride height and the damping levels , atm seeing as its a 20way , ive set it 6 clicks at the front and 8 at the rear, but its too spongy a ride so it looks like im gonna set it up for a firmer ride. even tho its a bit spongy steering feels good, and it does in a way feel more grippy in the tighter turns. when i "accidently" lose the back end i can find it more controllable , until i straighten up when it feels spongy again. all in all good kit, good value for money, and if your interested send tramac a pm hell look after you.

I believ the only official nismo dealership is sumo power down south and been a company of it's size you would be looking to pay OTT prices for them, as their mark up would be crazy.

Possible repost but at least the girl has a good taste in cars http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article ... point.html

what be even better is if you win then you would reply , thank you for your ticket boom!

yeah the Intake is only going to be on the car for a year max. Cause the turbo kit ill be getting from the same company, reuse the filter on the same location , only attach to the turbo.http://www.momentumperformance.com/prod ... _Tuner_Kit.

however that kit itself would fit on RHD cars without some modifications, they're constantly updating me on the progress of their RHD turbo kit.

Aslong as i avoid puddles the filter seems to be okay with not sucking in water

3" pipe . i perfer a filter which doesnt require oiling, as it may mess about with the MAF sensor, but i recokn with the length of the tubing and the bend before the Sensor, it should be okay. Coilovers next, then i need to fix my radiator, just realised the radiator has been pushed back after hitting that fox, and the belts are cutting into one of the wires, so ill take better photos soon.

yeah need to get the the kinetix cover. but ill get that later, not bothered about the looks till later on. as for the filter i cant find the size lost the sheet of paper

I'll post size when I et home from work won't be till late tho

Ive got the size of the filter required just finding one at a specific size is proving hard lol.

According the site it's rig welded , Mandrel bent 6061 Aluminium. The filter element is k & n. But don't have a choice in terms of filter unless I can find a size :s

Including tax it came to £250, but if it wasn't for the shipping being paid it would be 300ish. Yeah I thought about it and when taking it for a drive in heavy rain their was no problem but I did avoid puddles. In saying that I am gonna re install it properly so it sits where it should. I'm just thinking should i of got the polished version to go with the intake manifold.

I got in contact with a guy called Kev from SOHO motorsports, who was recommended by the company i got my exhaust from. I know momentum outsources the selling with other companys. but if you want Kev's contact hell sort you out with a good deal. Momentum currently want to expand to EU so they paid pretty much most of my shipping cost. I think you could contact momentum sales office and sort it out their, and get a good deal.

P.S please excuse the dirty engine bay

Well i had a crack at installing this baby ...Without following the instructions of taking the front bumper off .. (i was tired after work and it was one in the morning) The removal of stock intake was easy enough along with the strut brace. The long intake pipe was fitted with percisi..... problem found already . The intake duct needed to come out but the bumper blocks the way :S. so after asking it nicely to come out, so the snips came out. Its now in the bin, so i grab the pipe and...another problem. i had to find away to put the silicon sleeve on the bend pipe through the gap of the front bumper ( alot of swearing occurs ) so i my mate hold the pipe with the bend attached to the filter and small pipe while i tighten the clamps on the long pipe,and attached the pipe to the throttle body. Finally it was bolted down, maf sensor put in finally checks DONE. Then problem, the bend has a bolt which is suppose to be bolted just behind the bumper, but theirs no way putting this bolt in seeing as my bumper is still on. So i decided to leave it till i fit my coilovers.

I will get better picture once fitted properly, the intake should be sitting horizontal to the bumper, in other works it shouldnt be seen in the grill.

The initial response is a big smile, the noise isnt any louder until you get to about 3,500RPM, and then you can hear the sucking noise, along with the true dual exhaust it sounds nice , decats are next .

So to wrap it up the intake is nice with the crinkle upgrade (black paint). Build quality is as perfect as a intake can be. Fitting is possible without bumper off... but for the love of god just take it off. Remap will come sometime Febuary .Enjoy.

if theirs in mint condition I reckon it'll be around 500+

I want the zed shed one, I'm gonna actually put it on my to do list nextyear to make a pilgrimage their lol. I only tend to put decals of parts I have on the car

I really like tat bmper specially with the carbon canard. Tho my plan is stiletto get the v3 front.

Best colour Imho

The bumper looks new minus the grill, can defo say it's a brilliant job couldnt even tell their was a crack from feeling behind the bumper. They've sprayed a few bumpers for my mates and lol brothers car, so I would really recommend them.

Yeah had the front bumper repaired cause it was wrecked from hitting the fox. Just need to get the black mesh from zmanalex

Seen you car at Simons exhaust. Looks nice

Is that in Glasgow Uni? My best mate did forensic science and he was always snowed under with assignments

It's in Caledonian uni mate. I wouldn't say work load is heavy, theirs just alot of theory to learn. Then theirs the lectures who are the least helpful. Maybe it's just our course, but they've already recorded several complaints
